16 oz served in a New Belgium Goblet at Bertha's Mussels in Bawlmore, hon. From notes.

A: Pours a clear copper color - usually, I prefer my Belgian ales unfiltered. A nice stream of carbonation rises to the top. There isn't much head: just a thin white film with almost no lacing left behind.

S: I'm not getting much of anything. All I'm really picking up is a bit of bread and nondescript fruit.

T: Similar to the aroma, but not quite as weak. It starts with a touch of lemon, transitioning to a bready finish. I'm also getting some biscuity notes. This is rather nondescript in flavor.

M: It's full bodied - perhaps even flabby considering its mild flavor - but at least it's dry on the back end. Fairly easy to drink, thanks to its vibrant carbonation.

O: Pretty basic in all aspects. It doesn't do a whole lot right, but neither is there anything wrong with it. There are definitely better BPAs on the market right now. (929 characters)

I had this on tap at the brewpub. The menu notes: "This blond abbey-style ale is named for the physical process of turning solids into spirits. A semi-sweet nectar with just a hint of herbal bitterness."

The beer is dark golden color, clear, with a thin head and almost no lacing/ The aroma was just right, a little sweet and bready with understated yeasty esters. Almost a little floral or honey-like but just a little bit. The beer's flavors are subtle, nothing too strong, rather a little bit of the same sweet malts and esters from the smell. Peppery mouthfeel from the carbonation, decent body that is just a little dry, overall a very good beer. This is the type of beer I was hoping for when I stopped at Brewer's Art. (726 characters)

A - Golden Color. No Head, minimal lacing. probably due to the wet glass it was served in.

S - Smells of fruit, yeast, and minor floral notes.

T&M - Tastes of sweet candy and fruity/floral/hoppyness. very different. the mouthfeel is unlike any that i've had before. it was very tickelish and smooth. i loved the way this beer felt and filled my mouth. very pleasureable.

D - This beer lacks some complexity, but makes up for it in the intersting mouthfeel and solid flavors. It's very drinkable, and thirst quencing. I like it. would definately have it again. (622 characters)

The beer pours a solid gold color with adequate head retention and lacing. Not a lot on the nose, just a hint of spice and sweetness. On the palate this beer is quite quaffable. It's pretty light and drinkable, with moderate sweetness and a drying, slightly bitter finish.

This beer is very refreshing and would make an excellent summer sipper. It was fine last night in the blowing cold of Baltimore as well. Nice effort by Brewer's Art. (502 characters)

Thanks to Matt Capone(BA capones) for buying me this one...
Appears a transparent gold with a fluffy white head that slowly fades into a mild cap. Small amounts of CO2 pump to the top. Scattered lacing is left around the glass.
Smell is of citrus, flowery, with earthy, spicy notes and perhaps a touch of diacetyl and yeast found in the nose.
Taste is of the same aromas with a more balanced Saison grassiness and funk coming through.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, gently spiced, with a low level of carbonation and citrus coming through. (540 characters)
